Hello and welcome,

We all had to start somewhere. I took a quick look at your post for help and I'm no familiar with those controllers so you will need to wait for some others to come along to offer suggestions.

Here is the link to the suggested "getting started" reading material.

This article is just a summary of the information available in the downloadable PDF version of the AusChristmasLighting 101 manual, a guide for getting started (or stepping up a level) in Christmas lighting.

Thank you and that looks so awesome! I have figured most everything out on my display and got everything to work in Xlights model. The only thing I can't figure out is my CCR ribbon tree to work.

I did get the wrong idea from "green and new", seems like an exciting setup and you are well on the way!

Are you letting xLights configure the controller or did you set it up manually?
